The Broncos trimmed their roster down to 76 players earlier today releasing wide receiver Samie Parker, waiving wide receiver Lorne Sam and tackle Josh Mallard. The team must cut another player go before Tuesday to meet the 75 player requirement. The DP article mentions the Broncos liked Mallard’s versatility and intensity and state they may consider bringing him back if he doesn’t sign with another team soon.

Update: Linebacker Nate Webster was just named the starting Broncos middle linebacker winning the position battle for this preseason over free agent acquisition Niko Koutovides.
